One on stage seemed to enjoyed the sound of his voice. An example how slanted history becomes when personal context overshadows reality.

When I was 13 yo I read The Fire From Heaven. Made me realize that if it was ok for Alexander the Great to fall in love with boys then it was ok for me too. Thank you Mary Renault.

What a great lecture and discussion! I love The Last of the Wine and could have joined that panel and probably discuss for hours :)

I adore Mary Renault, but could not bear the speaker. My recommendation is to miss the tedious speaker and go straight to the panel discussion at 38.00
